1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Traditional hypothesis-margin researches focus on obtaining large margins and feature selection. In this work, we show that the robustness of margins is also critical and can be measured using entropy. In addition, our approach provides clear mathematical formulations and explanations to uncover feature interactions, which is often lack in large hypothesis-margin based approaches. We design an algorithm, termed IMMIGRATE (Iterative max-min entropy margin-maximization with interaction terms), for training the weights associated with the interaction terms. IMMIGRATE simultaneously utilizes both local and global information and can be used as a base learner in Boosting. We evaluate IMMIGRATE in a wide range of tasks, in which it demonstrates exceptional robustness and achieves the state-of-the-art results with high interpretability.
